I'll believe they ditch Norv and Green when I see them walking at the end of the season.

I'm still not sold on the whole idea of the 4th and 15, but it's mainly just a "well, but what about this" that isn't covered in the initial release of information, as well as thinking that if this is how they are planning to do it, they are going to need to do something about PI calls. I don't like the idea of PI determining possession instead of a Kickoff.

- I don't know what it is, but in spite of a 7-game winning streak, something is bothering me about my Mile High Ponies, not sure what it is though.- Stupid Bungles, was hoping they were gonna beat the 'girls- The Nick Foles era is here- The Kirk Cousins era is here- Not surprised the Falcons lost another game, they looked terribly weak as a 11-1 team coming to yesterday's game, surprised they lost to the Panthers of all things though.- Luck is the real deal, and by the looks of it, will have a longer career than RG3- Jets won because a)The Jags are awfully pathetic and b)They ran the ball.- The Steelers o-line is quite porous and surprised big ben didnt get hurt again.- The Chiefs make any team look competitive, that said, I wonder if this game saved Shurmur's job (hopefully not)- Same goes for Norv since the Chargers beat the Steelers, hopefully he's gone as well- Was hoping the giants would lose, just for a shits and giggles three way tie for first place. - WTF happened to the Cardilulz? are they gonna be the only team to start 4-0 and then go 0-12 the rest of the way? Specially amusing since it was the Cardilulz vs Iggles that marked the spiraling out of control fall for the Iggles- Disappointed overall with the Lions. Stafford reminds me of Romo...higher ceiling than him, but still a headcase, and slightly more injury prone -- but glad my Packers won.

Can't wait for Texas Pats game.

Also, yay for Johnny Football winning the Heisman. Still upset the Ducks didn't capitalize on A&M beating 'bama... Thanks for nothing Oregon.

The Browns have won 3 in a row... Uh... Someone have a defibrillator? The Rams play harder than most of the league. I'm curious to see what Fisher does with that team in the future. The Cowboys beat the Bengals... two weeks in a row fraught with tragedy. two weeks in a row the heavy hearted team has found a way to channel the emotion. The Colts... Holy Crap man. If people talked about Peyton being an MVP for not being around last season, and his value showing, what does that say for Andrew Luck this year? The bears are their own worst enemy, and the vikings prove that while the league is QB loving right now, a running game is still invaluable. WTF is going on in Pittsburgh? They just don't look right. Foles could be a good QB. And the Bucs are an odd team. Kirk Cousins will be traded for a high draft pick either this offseason or next. Mark my words. The Falcons lay eggs. And the Panthers prove when they want to, they can be a good team. Jacksonville is... well... I don't know. Bad? Tough? Directionless? The Jets aren't much better. The Niners would be undefeated if they had a QB who wasn't young and learning, or a vet who is a manager. The Saints season is proving why a HC is so valuable. You need someone to deal with the talent, and make good calls. Also... After Bounty Gate, the Saints D looks like a comedy. They would almost be better served to line up 1 yard inside the First down marker, 11 wide, and try to stop a team. What they are doing now is terrible. The Sea Chickens... Oh My God... Whisenhunt is going to be fired. The Packers Lions game was some of the sloppiest football I have ever seen.

Dear Hoodie, I know you like to do weird things from time to time, but can you please use Ridley A LOT tonight? Man... That would be great.

Note to Skelton: I don't care if it IS Larry Fitz out there, you do not throw at Richard Sherman. He will Autobot your ass right out of the league.

Marshawn Lynch had only 11 carries - for 128 and 3 TDs. Cards - you had a good defense, didn't you?

Why did the Seahawks pass at the end of a 58-0 blowout? Because we tried to run out the clock but the Cardinals wouldn't tackle us.

8 turnovers. 490 yards of offense. 2 100+ yard running backs. 3rd-largest blowout (by 1 point) in the modern NFL. Team record for points. Scored on offense (running and passing), defense, and special teams before the half. And the shutout.

Great game by the Seahawks. Absolutely crap terribad nightmare by the Cardinals.

The Indians are trying to spin it that they don't care about the K's, because a few years back they were third in the league in Strikeouts, and 5th in Runs Scored. Well, that's good, because they just picked up last years Strikeout kings in BOTH LEAGUES. It just got breezy in Cleveland.

Mark ReynoldsI don't understand the appeal. Maybe Flex can help me. He's a Baltimore Fan. Is there something else to Reynolds that his .235 ba / .332 OBP / .475 Slug career numbers? I mean, sure. He's hit a decent amount of HR's, Averaging just over 30 a year. That alone will give him the lead on an anemic offensive team, as will his 95 average RBI. But.... .235 carrer Batting Average? Coming off three seasons where he hit .198 / .221 / .221? What the hell? He AVERAGES over his entire career 200+ K's a year. I just don't see why he is a good pickup, to use as a starter.

Drew StubbsFirst. He's a CF. I'm pretty sure that Brantley is at least as good defensively, and has better Offensive numbers. I understand that this trade was made to get DiDi, so we could send him to Arizona, but why Stubbs? His Batting Average has declined by double Digits EVERY YEAR. (I know, his first "Season" was only 42 games) 12 point declines each of his first three seasons, and then a 30 point decline last season. His OBP held within 10 points each of the first three seasons, but then regressed terribly last year. In his 3 full seasons in the big leagues, he's struck out a colossal 539 times. His Slugging Numbers (LOL. SLUGGING! .386 career) have dipped each year since his first full year. He strikesout 3 times as often as he walks, and 1 out of every 3.04 PA (that's about 1 a game). Ok, so he can steal some bases, which is good, because he doesn't hit doubles, or triples, or hr's often. So is he the new Leadoff guy? With those numbers?

Trevor BauerA lot of people REALLY like this kid. Maybe he will be good? Everyone keeps saying that he has potential, and the Indians say that they scouted him in HS, and at UCLA, and that they think he's something special. Ok. I'm willing to see what's up.

Matt AlbersHmm. Right Handed Relief Pitcher. OK. His numbers aren't amazing, and he is a definitive downgrade over both relievers that we traded away. As in 1 full run ERA career downgrade over either.

Bryan ShawYoung kid, younger than either of our relievers, and shows promise. Could be an upgrade.

All in all, I just don't see the value of the trade or the signing. The trade hinges completely on Trevor Bauer amounting to something as a pitching prospect, since we downgraded from the fielding, and downgraded / sidegraded our relief pitching. Mark Reynolds feels like a Casey Kotchman (our previous 1b) who can hit homeruns, but is just as middling to underperforming at the plate.

Part of me is looking at the retooling, and having the fans reaction from Major League. "Who are these F*N guys?"

... the fact that more potential voters are swayed by a few trivial comments 10 years ago than a candidate literally collapsing is not a good sign and tends to indicate that even if Trump wins, it won't matter.

No electorate that stupid is going to survive long, one way or another.

Mark Reynolds at first base with the call up of Manny Machado secured Baltimore's infield defense. Reynold's had a .995 fielding percentage and only committed only 5 errors in 108 games at first base. If, big if, he can keep up with the power numbers and stay the course at first it should be a solid signing for Cleveland. Unfortunately Baltimore passing him up, in a period where they should be pushing to be a solid divisional power, should be a sign that last year was a fluke. Ultimately I'm sensing this is a signing for his performance against the Yankees last year.

We live in a society where people born on third base constantly try to steal second, yet we expect people born with two strikes against them to hit a homerun on the first pitch.
